I didn"t plan to paint two pink birds in one week, but that"s how it turned out. This week"s offerings, a roseate spoonbill and a preening flamingo.

I"m so very pleased to learn that my label art for Pirate Jonny"s "Syrena"s Seduction Sweet Jerk Hot Sauce" has won third place at the World Hot Sauce Awards, and the sauce itself took first place in the Carribean Hot Sauce category!

This is my second colaboration with the Clearwater based spice company owned by Jon and Terri Toner. (Previous work appeared on their Guava Girl and Sweet Island BBQ sauces.) Pirate Jonny"s creates amazing Carribean spices, sauces and rubs. It"s an honor – and a lot of fun – to work with them and have my art on such quality products.
